Share files using AirDrop on iPad

With AirDrop you can wirelessly share your photos, videos, websites, locations, and more with other nearby devices (iOS 7 or later). With iOS 8 or later, you can share with Mac computers with OS X 10.10 or later. AirDrop transfers information using Wi-Fi and Bluetooth—both must be turned on. To use AirDrop, you need to be signed in to iCloud using your Apple ID. Transfers are encrypted for security.
